Paul Harvey warned us about the dangers of progressivism

Not too long ago, I asked the question: How many warnings of the revolution have you missed?

It's not a coincidence that Harvey said these things during the last(thankfully failed) attempt to steal our liberty - the 60's.

I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: “Do as you please.” “Do as you please.” To the young, I would whisper, “The Bible is a myth.” I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what is bad is good, and what is good is “square”. In the ears of the young marrieds, I would whisper that work is debasing, that cocktail parties are good for you. I would caution them not to be extreme in religion

"Social justice" in the churches.

And the old, I would teach to pray. I would teach them to say after me: “Our Father, which art in Washington

There are two "third rails" in politics. Medicare and Social Security.

And then, if I were the devil, I’d get organized.

I wonder if Saul Alinsky heard Harvey's broadcasts? No matter; Lucifer is who Alinsky dedicated Rules for Radicals to at the beginning of the book, in the unnumbered pages.

I’d infiltrate unions and urge more loafing and less work, because idle hands usually work for me.

SEIU anybody?

I would encourage schools to refine young intellects but neglect to discipline emotions . . . let those run wild.

Progressives have long been honest about their real intentions with regards to education, and molding young minds into good little statists. Like this for example. 100 years later, we've seen the results of progressive education.

I would designate an athiest to front for me before the highest courts in the land and I would get preachers to say “she’s right.” With flattery and promises of power, I could get the courts to rule what I construe as against God and in favor of pornography, and thus, I would evict God from the courthouse, and then from the school house, and then from the houses of Congress and then, in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and I would deify science because that way men would become smart enough to create super weapons but not wise enough to control them.

Every bit of this we've seen from social justice pastors. And of course the leagues of people who take "the separation of church and state" out of context to mean that all worship must be done in the quiet of your own bedroom, with the lights off. That's not what our founders intended.

I would take from those who have and I would give to those who wanted, until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious.

And where are we on this one today? It would be easier if I asked the question this way: Can you name someone in Obama's government who doesn't want to redistribute wealth?

And those are the dangers of progressivism, thank you Paul Harvey. There is a slightly better version of this, here One thing he has also said is this:

And with promises of higher ratings, I'd have mesmerizing media fanning the flames

It's no wonder that so many of the early 20th century progressives were all journalists and media types.

If anybody wants on/off the revolutionary progressivism ping list, send me a message

Progressives do not want to discuss their own history. I want to discuss their history.

Summary: We've been repeatedly warned. But these voices have been wiped from history or morphed into something else.

I think it's clear that although the signs were all there, we let ourselves wander across the line of no return. The America my grandchildren will see is going to look nothing at all like the one I grew up in.

I'm sorry for that and worried for them, but there is not much I can do, really. With the support of the media the vocal minorities have taken control of our destiny and the majority remains busy, disinterested or just not convinced that there is a problem.

It is clear [now] that the push for socialized medicine may be the tipping point that disables our economy, yet we have no one in congress standing firm and screaming the truth. We continue to play patty cake and debate straw man arguments.

Its all so sad to me. But, to my liberal neighbors, it's a wonderful new beginning in anticipation of seeing the end of America and the creation of another new socialist state. I wonder if they really know what they have coming.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

We must attack, attack, attack them morning, noon and night. Allen West has done a great service in his brilliant attack on the Communists in Congress — identifying them as members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. The President too needs to be attacedk daily for being a Communist. I makes them write in pain to hear that them called out for what they are. They should hear “Commie” ringing in their ears every day of their lives from people attacking them. Rip them to shreds. Never let them have a moment’s peace.

I would take away your God given, Constitution guarenteed rights, and call it the "Patriot Act".

You said:

Do you think this fits in?

These people want to hide in the shadows. Now they're on youtube.

Thanks for the link and taking the time post both written and video. Some forget that there are those of us who lack video friendly bandwidth.

Now hope that there aren’t too many that are already ‘demoralized’:

” . . . They are contaminated; they are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their mind[s], even if you expose them to authentic information, even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still cannot change the basic perception and the logic of behavior. In other words, these people... the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible . . .”

There are videos available on internet; perhaps some one who has saved the link[s] could post.

Yes, these people need to be attacked. The fact they have escaped scrutiny has made them come out of the shadows. They need to be held to account. Glenn Beck has been doing a great job of this. More people need to rip them apart day in, day out, all hours of the day. That’s what they do against us. We have to expose them with even greater vigor.

The monotone voice of the reader is very annoying. Notice that these YouTube audios were posted only a month ago!

"We must attack, attack, attack them morning, noon and night."

I agree. I have been at it hard (with little effect) for the last 15 years. While the causes I've worked with have had some minor victories, the liberals have taken COMPLETE control of environmental and planning agencies and departments as well as our education system. So, now they control our water, energy and resources as well as most of the young minds in America.

One of my local allies recently folded up his business spent a year refitting his sail boat and shucked it all to live at sea where ever the wind takes him and his wife. I talked to him recently and asked what they miss. His answer was, "Absolutely nothing." The road has gotten tougher.
